...he knew so well how to use the serpents art, or such was the will of fate, that he gained her affections.
John William Polidori y otros, 'Vampyre'

J. Sheridan Le Fanu
Now the truth is, I felt rather unaccountably to the beautiful stranger. I did feel, as she said, “drawn towards her,” but there was also something of repulsion. In this ambiguous feeling, however, the sense of attraction immensely prevailed. She interested and won me; she was so beautiful and so indescribably engaging.
J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmila
